Chapter V: Gentle Rain vs. Calm Water
Before the Match Week started, Dylan said the guardians of the first match will be sent with mail on Saturday at Tsuna's Mailbox.
Saturday morning.
"- yawn - What was so important in the mailbox that Reborn had to wake me up at a Saturday morning?" Tsuna mumbled to himself.
"Match contestants….Yamamoto Takeshi and Richard Frolvus…"
"Must have been a wrong send from the mailman" Tsuna said while leaving
Until he noticed Yamamoto's name and ran back to the mailbox to get the letter for the match
"Shimatta! Tomorrow's the match! And Yamamoto is competing first! I need to tell everyone about this!"
After several runs through town, he finally reached Yamamoto's house and told him everything about it.
"I see, so tomorrow it will be my first match, huh?" Yamamoto said
"You're not worried?" Tsuna asked
"Why would I be?" Yamamoto asked without being nervous
"Well, I gotta run. I still have to tell everyone about this" Tsuna said while leaving
The next day…
"I wonder where the match will be held…" Tsuna mumbled to himself
"I still can't believe that this baseball-freak got to be the first one in the match" Gokudera said angrily
Coincidentally, Dylan and his guardians met Tsuna and the others on the way to the place where the match will be held
"Oh guys, where are you going? The match is that way."Dylan said
"Eh!?" Tsuna said
After they arrived at the place where the match will be held, they saw a marvelous dome above them and the place was filled with water everywhere and there was an effect of rain.
"Whoa, this is the place?" Tsuna asked while looking at the clear water
"Yep, my architects were the ones who designed the place and the carpenters built it" Dylan said
"Pardon, the match is about to begin. The contestants may head this way and the others will stay at the place where you may see them fight" One of the announcers said
After everyone had seated and the chosen guardians have readied for the match, the announcers said "Begin!"
"Shigure Souen Ryu Ga… Utsushi Ame!"
A wall of water appeared in front of Rick
" Break !" Rick said as the wall of water in front of him started falling down immediately
"Water Blast!" Rick shouted as he pointed his hand at the back
"Oof! (He managed to counter my attack!?) Yamamoto thought
"Water Void!" Rick shouted as he faced at Yamamoto with his two hands pointing at him
Suddenly, the water started forming around Yamamoto, turning into a huge ball
(This is bad, I might run out of breath if I don't get out of here!) Yamamoto thought to himself while struggling
"You can't escape" Rick said to Yamamoto while turning away, thinking he had already won
Apparently, Yamamoto managed to escape the void of water before Rick had went five steps forward
"Shinotsuku Ame!" Yamamoto shouted as he slashed Rick
Rick fell down to the water until Yamamoto noticed that he was dissolving in it
"Did he just…!? " Yamamoto asked himself
Then, Yamamoto felt that there was something slithering in his knee
When Yamamoto looked, he saw two snakes of water slithering until they froze into ice
"Ice!? I can't move!"Yamamoto said to himself
Rick was behind him and his hand formed an ice sword
"Yamamoto! Look out!" Tsuna shouted
But unfortunately, the glass was soundproof. Yamamoto can't hear anything even if they all screamed at the same time.
"!" Yamamoto looked behind to see Rick slashing his back back-and-forth
"Gah!" Yamamoto shouted in pain
"Yamamoto!" Tsuna shouted and remembered about the device Dylan had told them
"Dylan! Where are the special devices!?" Tsuna asked loudly
"Eh? You haven't noticed yet? It's in your pocket…" Dylan responded
"Really?!" Tsuna asked and took his hand into the pocket and noticed something hard
After he got it out, it was an orange-colored box with three buttons
The others only got one because Dylan said that the others can only help once and the boss can help thrice
So Tsuna pushed a button on the left side and waited for something to happen
Everyone noticed that there was a rush of orange flames in form of a dragon heading towards Rick
"What the…!?" Rick shouted as he stared at the orange dragon
The orange dragon wrapped Rick with its flames
Rick dissolved again like last time
After that, the dragon vanished and Rick had appeared at the middle of the match area
"It's time to finish this…" Rick muttered to himself
"Ultimate Power, Charge!" Rick shouted while his hand turned into a giant sword of ice, pointing it at the roof.
The sword appeared to be collecting water from the ground even though it was at top, forming a cage-like spiral of water
Then he cut the giant sword in half using water
His hands had two giant swords now. One is ice and the other is water
"Ultimate Power, Launch!" Rick shouted
The water around his started to swirl around the field and Yamamoto was ascending because of the water
"I'll show you the power of the Water!" Rick shouted while he too, is ascending by water
"Aqua-Ice Excalibur!" Rick said while jumping in the air and descending with his giant swords pointing at Yamamoto
After that attack, Yamamoto is bleeding and the flow of blood won't stop
Yamamoto was taken away by the medical group after the match and the announcers said that Richard Frolvus has won this match
"They're so strong…We might not even beat all of them…." Tsuna said while frowning
"I can't believe that baseball-freak lost" Gokudera said
"Wait, what's going to happen to Yamamoto!?" Ryohei shouted
"It's okay, he's is receiving treatment from the medical group" Dylan responded
"…"Chrome was trembling when she saw what happened to Yamamoto after being defeated
"Heh! I can beat them all by myself! And you will finally worship me! Nyahahahaha!" Lambo said,full of pride
"I'll most likely enjoy you being beaten up by them" Gokudera said
"Uruse! You're just jealous!" Lambo stuck his tongue out at Gokudera
"Kono!" Gokudera shouted while grabbing Lambo
"But we should be ready next time" Tsuna said
"Oh and by the way guys, the letter for the match will be tomorrow and at the same place" Dylan said
"Oh sure, thanks Dylan" Tsuna responded
"That was a tough day…" Gokudera said while walking home with the others
"But we will win the next time!" Tsuna said
Who will win the next match?
